These sourdough blueberry scones are light, airy, not overly sweet and the perfect breakfast or snack treat.

There is sourdough starter in this recipe.  There are SO MANY sourdough starter recipes out there, and tips, tricks, etc. 

My sourdough starter is all unbleached all-purpose flour.  Some starters add rye flour, whole wheat flour, but I went with straight all-purpose.

That could be why it took me nearly two weeks for my starter to be active enough to bake with, but it was definitely worth the wait.  Check out this blog post for a lot of information on how to get your sourdough starter going.  But see all those bubbles?  That means it’s ready to eat!

Ingredients needed for sourdough scones

  • all-purpose flour (you can use self-rising flour too)
  • quick oats
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • sugar
  • butter
  • sourdough starter
  • unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • blueberries
  • decorative or coarse sugar 

How do you make light fluffy scones?

Cold butter + hot stove = fluffy, tender scones.  Freezing my scone dough after forming for 30 minutes while my oven gets to 425 makes all the difference.  You will get THE BEST knife cuts on your scone with this process.

These sourdough blueberry scones are light, slightly sweet and a perfect breakfast with eggs, or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon butter, grated
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) sourdough starter

Instructions

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add grated butter and toss to coat. Toss in blueberries.
    Stir in the almond milk, sourdough starter and mix just until combined and there is no flour in the bottom of your bowl.

I don’t consider myself a baker, so these scones are pretty much foolproof.  You can also use frozen blueberries if you don’t have fresh blueberries.
